Same here. It probably doesn't work as the band width is too much for the MediaMVP box. For example, I can play back 480 line resolution (old shows) recorded by my MythTV box using an ATSC tuner. But I can not play back 720 or 1080 line resolution programming. Note, we have always had problems w/synchronizing digital audio in mvpmc - so, even though I can play back the 480 line programming, we still haven't figured out the audio synchronization problem. > I understand that this MAY indicate that mvpmc does not understand > the format (is mpeg-ts i.e. HD mpeg2?).

This is a pain when using MythTV (or actually anything) - but people have had success renaming their mpge's to .avi files. Then, mvpmc will think is can not decode the programming and will ask to have it transcoded. Ideally, I wish there was a way for the MythTV backend to identify the capabilities of it's clients and act accordingly. This will be more true in the future as more of us turn up ATSC and QUAM MythTV boxes but still have NTSC type clients. > So: How can I get mvpmc to go to VLC to transcode the HD content to > something it can display?

You can probably search this and the other mvpmc mail list for a thread on the subject. I would think it would be worth it if your set is good enough to see the difference between over the air NTSC and a DVD. Use the s-video output to reduce artifacts encountered by your set trying to separate color and brightness (this goes w/o saying for any video source). > Any help or suggestions?
